Chart
The donut shows total time spent in each place. Coloring, grouping, and labeling can all be customized. More complex data added if a date span is selected, as shown in the large digital example.
Map
The map area can include customized insets, place markers, and labels. Historic maps show US borders that automatically update over time.
Timeline
The timeline can be split into rows of equal size, split at custom points, or shown in a continuous 3D path. It can include event markers, age markers, and various start and end styles.

How does ordering work?
- You fill in the order form.
- I let you know timing and cost along with details on data required.
- You send the data or fill it into my standard form.*
- I create the chart and an invoice, then send your finished image (and video, if ordered) as soon as you pay.
* An “in-the-cloud” workflow is the default, but if you’d rather keep your data out of the cloud, I can store and process everything on my own computer.
How long does it take to get the result?
Will vary. See the order form.
Will you make an app so I can make my own?
An app is in the works.
Can you add pictures or music to my chart?
Maybe. Use the form to send details. A LifeChart works great as a standalone infographic, and even better as a supplement to other content.
Can you make a chart for more than one person?
For now, each chart follows one person, but timeline events can include a spouse, children, grandchildren, and more.
